Re: CFAR's impact: Max Tegmark of the Future of Life Institute emails (and offers for us to publicly quote him):

"CFAR was instrumental in the birth of the Future of Life Institute: 4 of our 5 co-founders are CFAR alumni, and seeing so many talented idealistic people motivated to make the world more rational gave me confidence that we could succeed with our audacious goals."

(FLI is the group that recently organized the Puerto Rico conference, and seems in general to be doing loads of high-impact good.)
